So I got blue dash lights from Autozone, installed them and it appears they are still the stock color, it is fairly light out so will i have to wait till its completely dark for results?

 

thats because the dash lights dont make the color change, thats why the bulbs you pulled out were clear and the color was green, their is an underlay inside the cluster that is the green color.
you have to open the cluster, pull the gauge needles off, peel off the gauge faces, remove the green tint, then re-install the gauge faces, then the needles, only problem is you run the risk of the needles not being back into the right place and the gauge reading incorrect.

 

The blue LEDs usually overpower the green. But other colors you have too peel the green off. With regular 194 bulbs regardless you have to peel it to my understanding. most people say the LEDs are bright enough to overpower. I plan to try and see if the LEDs over power for my truck. Im not peeling the green and if it don't work. It's not the end of the world.

 

+1 superduty. I replaced the bulbs in my ranger. I just pulled out old and put in new. I didnt know they were blue... turned them on, sure enough, blue... I ordered mine from the bay for a bout $6. my .02

*ill see if I can dig up a pic of it.

 

I just put blue LEDs in mine and it shows blue. I need brighter LEDs though, these weren't the bright ones as you can tell

 

How hard is it to get to the film I only want to tear apart the dash so many times

 

Thats with the film still on. But I an removing the film on a spare cluster. It's kind of a pain in the *** on these, I just used my knife blade to scrape it off, then clean it up with acetone.

Ic mine only lit up the guage needles a faint blue, Not sure if i want to go thru the trouble of scraping off the film, do you know of a store i can get some brighter ones at I don't really want to order online

 

I order all mine online. Usually through superbrightleds. I've never seen any in a store
